,140•90,4., THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS Friday, September 10, 1982 15 Sharon Sees Israeli Occupation as Alternative to Lebanon Accord JERUSALEM (JTA) — Repeated statements by De- fense Minister Ariel Sharon implying that Israel would occupy or otherwise control southern Lebanon indefi- nitely if the Beirut govern- ment failed to sign a peace treaty with Israel have not been clarified by officials here. There is speculation as to whether Sharon is speaking for himself or is enunciating a policy shared by Premier Menahem Begin if not the entire Cabinet. Sharon, in Kiryat Shemona Monday night, said that in the absence of a peace treaty with Lebanon, Israel would insist on con- trolling a security belt of up to 50 kilometers of Lebanese territory north of its borders. According to Sharon, Israel has made it clear to the Lebanese authorities — apparently including President-elect Bashir Gemayel — that if a peace treaty was signed, Lebanon's territorial unity would be guaranteed. If there is no treaty, Israel would control a 40-50 kilometer zone "whose status would vary from the rest of Lebanon," Sharon said. He added that Israel did not view a peace treaty with Lebanon as merely a gesture but as a "security necessity of prime importance." He insisted however, that Is- rael had no territorial as- pirations in Lebanon and was vitally interested in a unified Lebanon under a central government. Official sources here said Tuesday that it was too early to spell out the kind of security belt envisaged by the • Defense Minister. Foreign Minister Yitzhak Shamir told the Ambas- sadors of the European Eco- nomic Community (EEC) countries that security ar- rangements on Israel's northern border would best be worked out by the Lebanese and Israeli ar- mies, assuming there was a peace treaty betwen the two countries. A key question is whether the kind of security Sharon seeks would be feas- ible without the presence of Israeli troops in Lebanon. From the outset of the Lebanese campaign, Begin predicted that an Israeli victory would result in Lebanon becoming the sec- ond Arab country to con- clude a peace treaty with Is- rael. But Gemayel is re- portedly under heavy pres- sure not to sign a peace pact. The pressure comes mainly from Lebanese Moslem leaders. But a Christian leader, former President Camille Chamoun, has been quoted as saying a treaty with Israel at this time would be "premature." Begin, who met with Gemayel last week, repor- tedly was disappointed that the President-elect failed to come out openly in favor of a ft • v• , • f• * - .1 peace treaty. The Lebanese leader also declared that his government would try Maj. Saad Haddad as a "des- erter." Haddad, who com- mands the Christian militia in south Lebanon, has been supported for years by Israel and re- cently expanded the area he controls from a nar- row strip along the Is- raeli border to a point just south of Sidon, Israel is said to regard his presence as an important security element. Begin also was reported to have been "insulted" by Gemayel's cool attitude in- asmuch as the leader of the rightwing Christian Phalangists owed his elec- tion in large measure to Is- rael's army in Lebanon. Political pundits here as- sume that Sharon's re- marks on Israel's security plans in Lebanon had Be- gin's personal approval. Al- though the Cabinet has not yet discussed future rela- tions with Lebanon, Begin, Sharon and Shamir consult frequently together. It is as- sumed here that the three senior Cabinet ministers are in agreement and that Sharon's statements reflect this. Whatever agreements are reached with respect to a long range relationship with Lebanon, Israel has indicated it is in no hurry to withdraw its forces from Lebanon, including the northernmost points to whcih Israeli troops ad- vanced. In that connection, Sharon reportedly told Morris Draper, the senior U.S. diplomatic in Leba- non, that Israel would not withdraw from the environs of Beirut until Sharon and his family "could spend a weekend at the Commodore Hotel in west Beirut," the Mos- lem quarter of the Lebanese capital. Draper is Deputy Assistant Sec- retary of State for Near East and South Asian Af- fairs and was special Ambassador Philip Habib's deputy in the negotiations which led to the evacuation of the Palestine Liberation Organization from west Beirut. Israel is insisting fur- thermore that no anti-Israel elements must be allowed to remain in Beirut which could facilitate the return of the PLO. But sources here have denied a report that Is- rael issued an ultimatum for the evacuation of 2,000 leftist militiamen from west Beirut. Israel continues to regard this as the responsi- bility of the Lebanese army, the sources said.
